Coming to a mountain near you... (hopefully)
Terry W8ZN and I (Andy/K1RA) will be roving this coming weekend as
K8GP/R. Our FM19bb location was hit hard this past winter with wind
and ice damage, so we were unable to repair it in time for June. We
hope to continue bus and tower repair work over the summer and attempt
a fixed operation again sometime in the future.
This contest we will take a somewhat similar route as to what we tried
in Jan. VHF SS 2014, but this time starting north at FN00. We'll also
again be employing N3UW's rover with some new improvements. Here's
our route map info:

I will be mainly operating the low band seat (50-432 MHz), while Terry
operates 902-10368 MHz. We pride ourselves on quick band hopping and
appreciate your working all the bands with us when we call in and
request you to attempt QSO's. Even if there is an amazing 6m ESkip
opening, please take the time to work us across the bands, as our time
on sites will be relatively short.
In tradition with Bill/W3IY (SK) and the recently decommissioned W1RT
Jitney, I will be using 144.247 MHz as our coordination and calling
frequency. Please look for us there often. My other pass/jump
frequencies will be 50.247, 222.147 and 432.247. Consider putting
these in your rigs memory channels if available to assist in the
frequency hopping exercise :) I will be tuning mainly 6&2m to
otherwise find CQ'ing stations - so make lots of noise in our general
directions!
73 and GL to all this weekend and be safe.
